This special and unique training deigned by Eve White and Katie Rose opens up two areas for investigation:

1) The Australian yoga teacher’s relationship to ‘Country’ and how we may all be more respectful of Indigenous Australia’s roots in our classes and offerings.

Advanced Sequencing & Theming According to the Chakras - with Idit Hefer Tamir

14th-16th May 2021

Sequencing is the foundation of all good yoga classes. We will reflect on creating sequencing, built around a theme (such as the chakras for example) and where you might be stuck in a sequencing ‘rut’ or teaching on auto-pilot. We will also look at advanced alignment – how to teach difficult and advanced poses both safely and in relation to class themes.

Sustainable Teaching -  with Idit Hefer Tamir

10th-12th September 2021

What makes our teaching and practice of yoga sustainable?

Certainly, the events of the last few months have highlighted that we cannot rely on external factors to keep our teaching and practice steady. The landscape for yoga teachers has shifted and changed so much and is continuing to do so. In this powerful and supportive Advanced Teacher Training module we will explore how we can continue to thrive and survive as yoga teachers. Course directors Idit Heffer-Tamir and Katie Rose have re-worked this module completely in 2020 to support you during this time of change.
